Happy Day!

Sadie cracks me up on a regular basis and today was no different! She goes with me to praise team practice every week. She loves to sing and dance and be happy! Lately we have been working on "Happy Day", you know the song from Sister Act and I have the song permanently embedded in my brain so that I could not forget it even if I wanted to (I am a lyric savant, kind of like an idiot savant but I only remember lyrics even if I've only heard them once). So I am cleaning the hardwood floors and singing to make the work seem like fun and I start to sing this song.

Me: Oh Happy day!

From Sadie in the other room: Happy Day!

Me: Oh Happy day!

Sadie: Happy day!

Me: When Jesus walked.

Sadie: Jesus walked.

You get the picture! She was singing the echo like she had heard the team do in practice so many times before! I laughed so hard, I was crying! I love to hear a child sing! It really is like a message straight from God to hear that little voice sing out so clear and pure and untainted by the world around them! Next time you are invited to a school or church function to hear a child sing; jump at the chance and I promise you will be blessed beyond words at what these little creatures can do! If you have a little one in your family, cultivate their creativity and watch them bloom like a beautiful flower and make sure to clap, they love that (at least Sadie does)!
